As of May 2001, Fisher-Price discontinued further development and production of its entire car seat product line. This decision was made in line with the business objectives of the Corporation. Of course, Fisher-Price will continue to service our Fisher-Price car seat owners who have questions or need assistance.

Fisher-Price is committed to being a significant brand in the juvenile products category. Having exited the car seat business, the re-deployment of resources has allowed Fisher-Price to launch a new line of products called Babygear. This new product line is bringing innovation and superior quality to products such as baby swings, high chairs, bouncy seats, nursery monitors and more. You can see these products at www.fisher-price.com.

In swing mode, you may use your Swing to High Chair until the child becomes active and can climb out of the swing; 25 pounds maximum.

In high chair mode, you may use your Swing to High Chair in the upright position only by children capable of sitting up unassisted; 50 pounds maximum. Use the restraint system until your child is able to get in and out of the product unassisted (about 2 ½ years old).

A.We recommend using alkaline batteries with our products, as they are great for long-term use and help optimize performance. We don't recommend using Carbon-Zinc batteries. While Carbon-Zinc batteries may work well with low-power devices, they can drain after a short period of time and cause certain products to not function properly.

No. The setup of your controller is required only one time for each DVD player with which you are using your InteracTV controller.

If you feel your swing is too fast, please try the following trouble-shooting techniques:

• Try a lower speed setting• If the low setting provides too much swinging motion for the child, try placing one end of a blanket underneath the child and let the other end of the blanket drape down while swinging. • If all of these techniques prove unsuccessful, please contact one of our Fisher-Price® Baby Gear representatives.

Remember, the lighter the child is in the swing, the higher the swing can swing and the faster it will seem.
